But how do you effectively orhanize/enforce this for a code base of several million LOC where geographically distributed teams are working on different ends of the system all the time?

The amount of cross team coordination is staggering.

Fail verification in CI if the change doesn’t pass your checks. You can check anything, such as whether it has a duplicate name already in the codebase.

I would be interested to know, which CI tool can check "that each concept has exactly one name throughout the codebase."

I thought code reviews are the only way and then you need to have every Dev aligned and on the same page on this topic... Which never happens. :/

It wouldn’t be something provided by the CI tool, you’d have to write the test yourself. At the end of the day it’s just another test, albeit a more complex one than a standard unit test.

Documentation, I think.
